Bill Gates wants surveillance cameras in every classroom.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) have funded the Measures of Effective Teaching Project (MET) which brings together volunteers and researchers “to build and test measures of effective teaching to find out how evaluation methods could best be used to tell teachers more about the skills that make them most effective and to help districts identify and develop great teaching.”
MET recognizes that teachers are more important than “anything else within a school” and want to ensure that they control this precious resource with regard to indoctrination.
MET has coerced “thousands of teachers, volunteers and administrators” from states such as:
• Dallas
• North Carolina
• Texas
• Denver
• New York
• Pennsylvania
Major universities have come onboard to provide researchers:
• Darthmouth
• Harvard
• University of Michigan
• Stanford
• University of Virginia
Think-tanks, non-profits and educational tools manufacturers have also signed on to MET:
• RAND Corporation
• Educational Testing Services
• Teachscopes
• The Danielson Group
• The New Teacher Center
• National Science & Math Initiative
• Westcat
The BMGF have also invested $5 billion into having CCTV cameras installed in all classrooms across the nation allegedly “for every teacher in every classroom in every district to be filmed in action so they can be evaluated and, maybe, improve.”
This initiative would facilitate “videotaped lessons, classroom observations by trained observers, student satisfaction surveys, and value-added calculations based on test scores.”
Gates likens public schools to factories: “So imagine, running a factory where you’ve got these workers, some of them just making crap and the management is told, ‘Hey, you can only come down here once a year, but you need to let us know, because we might actually fool you, and try and do a good job in that one brief moment.’”
The way to create a “normal” school is by having a structured surveillance system installed to make sure that the students and teachers obey the rules and regulations. Gates asserts that cameras which were highly visible would keep the student population, staff and faculty in line.
James Burton from Informed on Information asserts that this initiative would define “our surveillance society” because those cameras could be used to “harass staff” and students.
Supporters such as Michael Petrilli from Education Next claims that having CCTV cameras everywhere would possibly “curb school violence or guard against child abuse.”
Along with CCTV cameras recording every movement on publicschool campuses, BMGF also has invested in inBloom, a database that has been given permission by school board officials in several states such as Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, Massachusetts and Louisiana to use personal information on students in an effort to create a national database.
